On a bluff high above Sheridan Road sits a Tudor Revival-style home rich in history overlooking Lake Michigan with private beach access. Accessed by a private lane, the setting on a pristine ravine surrounded by tall pines feels like you are in the country, yet it is a short walk to Hubbard Woods boutique shops, train station and restaurants. Featured in The Chicago Tribune and Better Homes and Gardens, this home has a story! You enter through a high-walled, authentic red brick terrace with restored original gates. Larger than it appears, there are 8 rooms, 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths, including 2 primary suites with seasonal lake views, one on the main level. Cozy living room with an easy-on gas log fireplace and loads of bookshelves opens to the dining room with beautiful views of the tall trees. The home has undergone 2 major renovations, one in 1952 and another in 2008, which included a DeGuilio kitchen and main floor laundry. These changes created a more modern home with character and charm while retaining the integrity of the original structure. Topped with a handsome slate roof, every detail shows the high quality of renovation. See agent for a list of improvements including roof 2016, exterior paint 2019, high efficiency boiler, water heater, space pac and 220 amp electric.

Single-Family Residential District
The requirements set forth in this chapter, together with other provisions set forth in the Building Code of the Village, have been adopted in order to provide for a single-family residential environment of relatively small estate character, where the degree of improvements upon an individual parcel of land is generally subordinate to the landscape. Due to the mature character of development within this district, such requirements are also intended to assure that future modifications to existing structures, or the replacement of existing structures with new structures, will not alter the scale and general character of established neighborhoods. In this regard, the requirements set forth in this chapter are further intended to foster development which is compatible, in general, with the character of existing single-family development within the immediate neighborhood with respect to external architectural scale, landscaping and other site improvements.
